Rhino Beetle

The Rhino Beetle is a mob that defends four fields.

This is one of the first mobs a player will encounter when starting the game (the other being the ladybug).

It takes 5 minutes for a rhino beetle to respawn after being defeated (4 minutes 15 seconds with Gifted Vicious Bee). Defeating it gives 1 battle point and about 75 honey spread across 4 honey tokens. Various other rewards can also be given, which the possibility of getting them can be increased with Loot Luck.

Rhino beetle levels range from 1-5, depending on the field it spawns in.

Strategies

• Rhino beetles behave similarly to most mobs: it pauses to aim, then lunges. If the player stops to let them aim, then move, it will attack the spot where the player used to be, not the player's current location.
• Some fields have objects that the player can try hiding behind, such as the stalks of bamboo in the Bamboo Field.
• The Frozen Field Defenders Glitch works very well against rhino beetles.
